Hubble telescope captures images of Jupiter and Uranus looking differen
CNN ^ | 4/1/23

The weather is slowly changing on Jupiter and Uranus, according to our galaxy’s own interplanetary meteorologist.

The NASA Hubble Space Telescope captured Earth’s outer planetary neighbors in images from 2014 to 2022, documenting changes in the planets’ weather and seasons over time

With Jupiter at about 484 million miles (779 million kilometers) away from our sun and Uranus about 1.8 billion miles (3 billion kilometers) away, each takes longer to orbit the sun, which means a slower pace of seasons. But the gas giants still experience extreme weather. That’s especially true for Uranus, with its peculiar, tilted axis that causes one hemisphere to be completely without sunlight for about 42 years at a time.

OK OK let the joke's begin!😜🙄🙄😜😃. The climate is changing on Uranus, I 💩 you not. Leave it to CNN to report on such a phenomenon 🤔. How many gazillions in taxpayer's $$$ will be needed to fund this study?

Planetary research is good.

I thought you needed a microscope to look at Uranus.

Jupiter's red spot also appears to be shrinking slowly, no doubt due to carbon emissions.

Human-caused global warming affects Jupiter?

Off-topic a bit but has any NASA probe sent dark-side pictures of planets and are they dark?

Human-caused global warming, guns, and transphobia. They’re ruining space!

Somehow transphobia and Uranus seem to fit

None of the planets emit significant visible light, so the side facing away from the sun is dark. Some do emit infra-red or even x-ray energy that can be imaged.

This image was taken by the Juno spacecraft

“”But the gas giants still experience extreme weather””

It’s a frickin’ GAS GIANT! The entire planet is EXTREME!

Some real scientists also call the gas giants ‘comet catchers.’ They are so large, their massive gravity draws solar system debris into the planet. They scoop up and destroy large and small asteroids, comets, etc. These objects then will not strike our little piece of the universe. Does not mean that the Earth will not have another large asteroid/comet strike it. Just means there are less than if there were no gas giants in our Solar System.

This is why all their conclusion that man is causing this climate change is absurd. The universe is simply too immense.

The only FACT that scientists have is that climate has changed since the beginning of time. They know what the temperature of the earth should be?? Absurd.

Climate change can travel great distances; highly contagious.
Vaccines would prove useful.

Uranus, where the sun don't shine.

“Planetary research is good”

Other than a breakfast drink, where have our millions got us?
